Hi Gregory, Andrew and Jason,

This patch set seems stuck. I believe that Bryan is probably too busy to handle it...

Is that possible to merge it via the mvebu tree ? Since only some LaCie boards are impacted, I think it could make sense.

Hard one. I also have a driver stuck in led limbo.

Last time we took a fix via mvebu, it all went messy at the last minute. We made it very clear to Bryon we planned to take a patch via mvebu, we had queued it via mvebu, we had sent a pull request to arm-soc, all with no reply from Bryon. Only at the last minute did he jump in, pull it himself and send it to Linus. That caused Olof all sorts of problems with his tree.

It's also good to keep in mind the workflow of driver maintainers who push directly to Linus. They send PRs during the merge window, and don't necessarily spend too much time in -next. Which means, if they have good filters running on lkml, they just sit down a week or so before the merge window and apply everything they have pending.

For those of us who are feeding arm-soc, and are accustomed to getting things in early, this can be nerve-wracking.

Brian has demonstrated that he does pick things up and get them merged. We just need to make sure that what he picks up is well tested and reviewed when he gets to it. Since there won't be time for another revision before the merge window. But hey, that's what -rc's are for. :-P

At least what I can do is creating a led branch and merged it in the mvebu/for-next branch. It will allow us to be more confident for the merge window.

Thanks,

Gregory

To stop that happening again, i think we need an Acked-by from Bryan.

I agree.

thx,

Jason.
